...how many batteries and starters are you going to replace with this auto stop/start BS? I, of course, was summarily "dismissed"--after all, it must work well, otherwise it wouldn't be on so many vehicles. BS--the manufacturers just need it to make CAFE standards (here) and are betting that nothing will need to be replaced before the warranty runs out.
I don't know what your term for it is, but CAFE = corporate average fuel economy. Every mpg you can squeeze out of your smaller/more efficient vehicles sold counts to offset the "guzzlers"--full-size trucks and large SUVs.
